I read that if you uninstall TrueCrypt the encrypted volumes remain on your
drive.
What about the opposite... if you have a mounted volume can it be deleted
just like any other folder so that TrueCrypt releases the space it
previously held in a container?

I hope this question isnt too silly.
Thanks again, Elmira

True. (I'd hate to think it would be otherwise.)

TrueCrypt creates encrypted containers, which are just individual files, and
these can easily be deleted normally (since they're just files). Doing this
just deletes the encrypted files within the files themselves.

I just hope I answered your question.

But you have to dismount them first.

Can't help directly, but I've been very happy using Blowfish
Advanced ES myself, if you need to look for another encryption tool.

as http://maakus.dyndns.org/ is now down.

Only if you have them mounted already.
